The Big Bang may never have happened: scientists

As crazy as it sounds, we’ve all kind of accepted the part of the Big Bang Theory that says the universe started as a single point around 13.8 billion years ago. The thing is – a lot of theoretical physicists aren’t enthralled with that idea, as a lot of widely-accepted general relativity equations start to break down as you approach the “singularity”.

One recently published study asked the question: What if the there was no Big Bang and the universe has been around since…forever?

“The Big Bang singularity is the most serious problem of general relativity because the laws of physics appear to break down there,” Ahmed Farag Ali, a physics lecturer at Benha University in Egypt, told Phys.org.
